UNITED STATES CHARLES S. RAIZEN, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

JEWELRY AND DISPLAY BOX.

Application filed April 7, 1924.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLns S. RAIZEN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Brooklyn, Kings County, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jewelry and Display Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

This invent-ion relates to jewelry and display boxes and in particular to the construction thereof.

A particular object of the invention is to provide a. box of the character referred to, the body and cover of which can be pressed out of a single piece of material.

A further object is to provide a box in which various designs or any particular shape may be pressed.

In boxes heretofore made, the body portion and lid portions were made of a plurality of parts which were joined by fabric hinge portion, while the body upon which the jewels rested and the pad which is disposed in the cover had to be suitably shaped and held in position in the box.

An object of my invention therefore is to provide a jewelry or display. box in which the box and lid portions and the hinge member are made out of a single piece of pressed material while the body upon which the jewel such as necklaces normallv rest may be made from a piece of pressed buckran'i or the like, so that the box can be made up in quantity and with a minimum of labor and material.

Referring to the drawings wherein I have shown a preferred embodiment of my in vention,

Fig. 1 is a view in perspective of a box constructed in accordance with my invention, the same being shown open to disclose the interior thereof,

Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 22 of Fig. l, and shows the construction of the box in detail,

Fig. 3, is a section taken through the box portion on the line 38 of Fig. 1,

Fig. 4, is a view in perspective of a closed box showing how the same may be produced with a design pressed therein, and

Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4, the cover only being shown.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 5 indicates the box portion, and 6, the cover, which combine to make up the completed jewelry display case. The material used Serial No. 704,578.

in the construction of the same may be heavy paper, buckram, or other suitable material which will stretch without tearing when the same is formed. lVhen paper is used, it will, of course, be treated to permit of its stretching without tearing when formed.

The box and cover are joined by a suitable hinge member 7, this member being formed between the box and the cover when the same are pressed out in the dies so that a single piece in the manufacture forms the cover, the box, and the hinge.

In order to give the box and its cover strength and thickness, the upper edges are turned inwardly as at 8, and glued in place. The material used in the construction of the box is covered on the outside with an even layer of silk or velvet fabric, whichever is desired. When the edges of the box and lid portions have been turned inwardly and glued in place, there is in serted in the box portion 5 a suitable jewelry holding bed 9 which may be pressed out of a piece of buckram, heavy cloth or the like, having an upper silk-like surface or coating so that when the same is disposed in the box it has the appearance in the box of a soft silk pad.

The ridge 10, formed in the bed is for the purpose of keeping jewelry in position. After the bed 9 has been placed in the box, a suitable cardboard collar 11, is glued in place against the inside walls of the box so that it projects slightly above the top thereof. This cardboard collar engages the edge portions of the bed 9, and holds the same securely in place. When the cover 6 closes, it will, of course, fit snugly around the cardboard collar so that it will be frictionally held closed. The lid of the box is provided in its bottom with a suitable pad 13 which is glued in place, and may have a coveringof silk or velvet.

In Fig. 4, I have shown how the case in either or both its box or lid portions may be pressed to embody a. design 12. It will be seen therefore, that I have provided a jewelry or display case which may be made in any shape or design, and of a single piece. Instead of providing an expensive pad for the bottom of the box, I have provided a yieldable pad having no cover or filler which will serve the same purpose as the padded bed both in appearance and usefulness. Also I may produce this box in large quantities Land thereby reduce the cost of manufacture to a minimum.

Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. A jewelry display box comprising a box portion, a lid portion anda connecting hinge piece, all of said parts being formed by pressing out of a single piece of material and a bed in said box portion, said bed being stamped out to provide a yieldable bulging central portion and a peripheral V-shaped ridge portion.

2. A ewelry display box comprising a bo-X portion a lid portion-angleconnecting hinge piece, all of said parts bein'g formed by pressing out of a single piece of material, a facing material gummed thereto, a bed piece in said box portion upon which the jewels are adapted to rest, the bed being stamped out of a' yieldable fabric having a central'raised portion and a peripheral V-shaped ridge portion, and the lid portion being provided with an embossed design.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.

CHARLES S. RAIZEN.
